Asinine thread.SJs average is 32 compared to Ricks 45 odd.Ricky has 3 WCs to his name to SJs 1 and captained in 2 of them.Much better fielder also.No contest tbh.

Jaya was the better ODI cricketer. Average wasn’t great but the SR was, particularly when Jaya was going at 90+ in an era where most international openers were struggling to go above 70. Chuck in 300+ wickets also and you have a ODI great. Strange versus thread mind...

Yea it's Jayasuriya for me as well.

Burgey · 06-02-2011, 04:15 PM

Jayasuriya as an overall player, Ponting as a batsman.

smalishah84 · 06-02-2011, 06:59 PM

If you include Ponting's captaincy it becomes very close I reckon

Julian87 · 06-02-2011, 07:03 PM

Ponting comfortably when you consider the fielding and captaincy. The batting is a no contest.

Yeah Jaya took a lot of wickets but I don't think his bowling was strong enough to tip the scale.

robelinda · 06-02-2011, 07:12 PM

Dont forget Ponting's quite insane fielding, he must have run out more batsmen with direct hits then anyone in the history of cricket, amazing accuracy.

akilana · 06-02-2011, 07:25 PM

Jayasurya was a good fielder too

Mike5181 · 06-02-2011, 07:27 PM

Both great players. Personally if i were to choose either Jayasuria or Ponting it would be the latter. You could build a whole team around this guy and he could lead it.

smalishah84 · 06-02-2011, 07:28 PM

Jayasuriya's fielding was good too which is why i only included Ponting's captaincy in the equation.
